Question External NVME m.2 way slower than advertised

[Darotje]

Hi!

Yesterday I bought this enclosure: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09T97Z7DM
I then bought this m.2: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09K3H2YHX

When checking the speeds with Crystal Disk they reach nowhere near what it's capable of.
These are the speeds: https://prnt.sc/lshS7PQao2s3

I also ran my C Drive to confirm that CrystalDisk is working and they came back to this: https://prnt.sc/EFShL3BqZ1lA
My C Drive is a Samsung 980 Pro: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09J159SWL

I have also tested the m.2 and enclosure on my MSI Prestige 15 with Thunderbolt, however it's getting the same speed over there.
Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

Remember that you're dealing with USB speeds.

The external enclosure's speed is 10Gbps. Assuming a PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive, they top out at just a little over 63Gbps of raw bandwidth.

I think you can figure out what's the problem here.

Do you have a pc with a m.2 slot to test the ssd?
